Let us know if there is something we need to carry for next year Hunter Access Program Available in Iosco County Beginning in 2016, landowners in Iosco County have had a new opportunity to receive payments for allowing hunters to use their property. Hunter Access Program (HAP) is a voluntary land leasing program. The DNR leases lands from private landowners to provide additional hunting areas for hunters. Private landowners determine if all hunters, or youth and apprentice hunters only, may hunt on their property. They also determine if hunters may harvest deer only, turkey only, small game only, all legal species, or a combination of any of these options. Property owners specify the maximum number of hunters allowed on the land at any one time. Enrolled lands can be found throughout lower Michigan and a portion of the eastern Upper Peninsula. Find more information at www.michigan.gov/hap or at the ICD website: www.ioscoconservation.org. FOREST PEST ALERT OAK WILT DO NOT prune oak trees during the growing season. If you need to prune oaks, DO NOT prune them between April 15 and July 15. DO NOT move firewood: oak wilt is spread by the movement of infected wood.
